Can anyone tell me where I can find out the PMS codes for
the default colours you get to use on your email text in
Outlook?

There is room in here somewhere for a joke about one
of the reddish Windows colour schemes, but I can't stop
laughing long enough to think straight.

Rob,
While i'm sure your joke is absolutely hilarious, I'm
assuming you don't know the answer to my question.
Don't wet yourself or anything.

The problem is that those colours are used for printing onto paper and use a
subtractive colour system (the light is reflected off the pigment) whereas the
colours you see from a monitor are an additive colour system (the light is
emitted from the monitor) so there is not necessarily a direct correspondence
between them. I suggest just using colours that look right/good. Especially as
most people will not be using calibrated monitors or viewing the print under
standard lighting conditions.

PMS is not an acronym you see a lot in the computer business.
However, not that you have shown elsewhere that PMS has
nothing to do with PMS but is instead "Pantone Matching System" ...
If you have a digital monitor, for some you can download
and install calibration data for that monitor. Typically,
someone else who owns that monitor calibrates his monitor
using the colour cards and then uploads his calibration results
so others can use them. Perhaps one of the many graphics or
monitors/display groups can tell you where to find this kind
of data.

I never do. Spill my coffee maybe.

Oh. PMS used to be an acronym for Post Menopausal Syndrome and I was sure you weren't speaking of that. Sine I don't have such a printer I never saw this PMS before. But I do know how to access the system colors through names like the InfoTip colors and such. But I guess you don't want that either.
